Lock in a great price for Hi Guesthouse Insadong – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

Very cute guesthouse located in the busy streets of Insadong. Anguk exit 6 and Jongno 3 ga exit 5 are around 3-5 minutes away by foot. I love it! The terrace is an extra space to go if you want peace and quiet after a long day.

Their kitchen or breakfast area is totally separated from the reception so all guests can eat comfortably, I like it that way. The lady who was cleaning our room was very nice. This guesthouse is at the end of an alley, but it is a very interesting path I don't mind walking there coz the area is very touristy.

The room was very comfy and quiet. I didn’t hear any loud noise from outside. Overall, it’s a good place to stay. Near Insadong, Gyeongbukgong palace and Anguk Station. There’s a free breakfast consisting of bread, cereals, milk, coffee and tea.

Great location in the center of Insa-Dong, close to UNESCO Palace and two subway stations - Anguk and Jongno 3.

The place superb and cozy! And the host was very nice!!! 👌❤️

As a budget traveler, I like having the toilet and shower in the room as it's more convenient and private, so that's a plus for me.
In terms of location, it's a few minutes away from Anguk station (Exit 6), so it's really accessible.
The breakfast is cereal, toast, and coffee (brewed or instant).
There's an option to use the washing machine for a fee (4000₩?), so that's really helpful for light packers.
Oh, and the receptionist is really helpful and cheerful. I highly recommend this place; I even met a good buddy here.

Great staff!!! - very accommodating.
The room was small but clean and comfy. They serve continental breakfast - enough if you prefer something light for breakfast.
The hotel’s location is good because it’s right there in the center of Insadong and subway stations are nearby. Although, if you decide to stay here, pack light - unless you don’t mind dragging/carrying heavy luggage from the station to the hotel and then carrying them all the way up to the 2nd floor (if you’re given a 2F room). ;)

The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable. Good value for money and very accessible. There’s also a free breakfast and a mini fridge and tv in our room. Our flight got delayed and the Staff waited for us till past midnight. The staff also let us borrow the umbrella when it rained.

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

As other reviewers pointed out, the smell in the bathroom wasn't pleasant at times, but it was still okay. There was some hair left behind on the drain that wasn't cleaned out, too.

The staff was all very friendly and accommodating, and the room was comfortable and clean. The location was conveniently central to the daily liveliness of Insadong-gil, and is within walkable distance to 3 major metro lines and other tourist-recommended sites in Seoul. There are many cafes, restaurants, and shops few steps away from the guesthouse, as well, so you will never be bored. I would stay here again.

The location is quite difficult to find as google map is not that friendly in seoul. If only they can provide luggage locker, it will be more convenient. However, our luggages was safe because we only leave it at the counter

the staff was very helpful, letting us choose which room we prefer, breakfast is open 24/7 and the best is the rooftop. Especially at night!!

Just in the bathroom, I would like to have a carton
Or sth to prevent being wet on the toilet from the water. However, the shower was good water pressure and comfortable temperature, so that doesn’t matter.

The main great point is that
The price was so reasonable for everything.
For instance, good breakfast, friendly staff there, clean room, and the location to go every popular place in Seoul. Thank you. It was such a good time.

I didn’t like that a lady buzzed my doorbell just to ask if I can pay by cash because of some reason. They should have at least indicated during check-in that they prefer cash payment. Anyway, she didn’t bother to ask again the other day.

The room was very comfy and quiet. I didn’t hear any loud noise from outside. Overall, it’s a good place to stay. Near Insadong, Gyeongbukgong palace and Anguk Station. There’s a free breakfast consisting of bread, cereals, milk, coffee and tea.
